Profile:

Almost throughout the fifties, `Nana' Joshi and Naren Tamhane battled it out for the stumper's slot in the Indian team. A flashy wicketkeeper, Joshi on his day could be brilliant but also had lapses of form. On his debut against against England in 1951-52 he had two catches and two stumpings in the first innings, which remained his best performance in a Test. He toured West Indies in 1953 and England in 1959. At home he played against England in 1951-52, Pakistan in 1952-53 and 1960-61, West Indies in 1958-59 and Australia in 1959-60.

A useful late order batsman who frequently opened the batting for his state, Joshi and Ramakant Desai put on 149 runs for the ninth wicket against Pakistan in 1960-61, still the Indian record for that wicket. Joshi's score was 52 not out. Interestingly enough, this was his last Test. In a first class career spanning almost two decades, Joshi had 180 dismissals, 119 of them caught. He captained Maharashtra for several years.(Partab Ramchand)
